DR.. Borgeon, a leading French doctor, has
. new treatment for consumption
He gives an enema of carbonic acid and
sulphuretted hydrogen gases, the latter gas
carrying the former into every part OF the
throat and lungs.
This treatment, too is directed at effects
the cause remains undisturbed.
What this cause is has been stated by per-
haps the highest pulmonary authority in the
w.rld, /. e., the Brompton Hospital for Con-
sumpuves, In Lon Ion, Eng
This nj llaly every yea carries off from
one-seventh to one.tifth of the entire popu-
lation of England.
DIR. Payne, NJ D., NJ r, c. P, London, is
authority for this statement
The same or greater proportion Of deaths
obtains in America.
DR.. Payne also says that one half the total
number of deaths from all other causes
have seeds of this disease in the system which
only require me ir. liant to develop
Dr. Hermann Brehmer an eminent Ger
man authority, says that consumption is
caused by def cient nutrition Of the lungs,
by poor blood.

medical world recogni eS them. the uric

Brehmer says lie dormant in the blood.
Every article of bloc which passes through
the lungs and heart also goes through
the kidneys, and if they are in the least de-
ranged they cannot rid the blood of its kill

kidn'y disease may eyist, and yet no pain
occur in that organ, because it is deficient in
nerves of sen>ation.
/ Dip your finger in acid every day and it

soned blood through the lungs every second,
and they soon give way.
/ The Brompton Hospital investigation
Shove that - per cent. Of the victims of
consump ton were afflicted with deranged
kidneys, which permitted the uric acid poi
son t. remain in the blood and irritate the
lungs. This uric acid is always fight ng every
vital organ, and if there be any inherent
weakness in the lungs it inevitably cause
pne. monia, cough and consumption.
/ The real cause Of pulmonary troubles being
so authOritatively shown to be ia lily even
though unSuspectei action of the kidneys,
explains why, in order to master the dreaded
consumption, one must rid the blood OF the
ur.c acid irritant which inflaues and burns
/ up the lung substance. For this purpose
there is nothing equal to that great Ieciic,
" arner's safe cure. The remedy has now
the favor of medical meu all over the world
purely on its merits We have no doubt that
If the kidneys are kept in natural action, con-
sumption and n great many other diseases,
caus by uric acii, will not only be cured
but will be prevented.
When the kidney is healthy, no albumen
appears in the water, but albumen is found
in the water of more than half of those who
die of consumption
This, then, is the condition of things that
always precedes consumption: First, weak
enel kidneys; Sc 'ond, retained uric acid
poisoning tn blood; third, the development
of disea in the lungs by the irrtant acids
Easing through them. Then there is a little
cough in the morning; soon thick, yellow
matter is spit up, followed by loss of flesh
and strength, with dreadful night sweats;
and when the patient goes to his school
physician for help, he is put on cod liver oil,
which his stomach, weakened also by uric
a id in the blood, cannot digest. Because
there is no pain present in the kidneys,
the patient does not think they are affected,
but the kidney acid is doing its work every
minute, every hour, day and night, and by
and.by the disease of the lungs has advanced
until pus is developed, then come hemor-
rhages. and at last the CLASSY stare which de
notes that the end is near
A post-mOrtem examination of such cases
shows that the terrible uric acid has COM

1t is impossible to cure lung diseases when
the blood is poisoned with uric acid
